How To Make Zwieback Toast

Here's How:

1. Sprinkle dry yeast into water. Let stand for a few minutes, then stir until dissolved.
2. Scald milk and cool to lukewarm. Add milk and 2 cups of the flour to yeast. Beat thoroughly.
3. Stand in warm place for about 1 hour, or until mixture is light and bubbly.
4. Beat in remaining ingredients; if necessary, add a little more flour to make a medium-stiff dough.
5. Stand in a warm place and let rise until doubled in bulk.
6. Punch down and turn out on lightly floured board.
7. Knead for about 5 minutes.
8. Shape dough into 2-1/2" round buns. Place buns on greased cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart.

10. Bake in preheated 400 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
11. Lower heat to 350 degree F and bake for 15 minutes longer.
